HOROPEDIA is a participatory knowledge platform, and we invite everyone who wishes to contribute to this adventure of sharing watchmaking knowledge to join us.
Founded in 1966 in Neuchâtel under the Impulse of the Swiss watchmaking industry, WOSTEP became a non-profit association in 1986, then a foundation under Swiss law in 2006. Starting in 1994, the Institution developed the Global Partnership concept, a network of partner watchmaking schools applying its 3,000-hour program for Horologist (watchmaker)-repairer; this curriculum was officially recognized in 2009 by the Swiss federal vocational training authorities as a component of adult watchmaking training in Switzerland. The Global Partnership now brings together schools on several continents, offering exams in multiple languages. To learn more: WOSTEP Foundation’s “About” page.
